Résumé
The third volume of the former Israeli prime minister&’s journals from the nation&’s early years.My Struggle for Peace is a remarkable political document offering insights into the complex workings of the young Israeli political system, set against the backdrop of… the disintegration of the country&’s fragile armistice with the Arab states. Replete with Moshe Sharett&’s candid comments on Israel&’s first-generation leaders and world statesmen of the day, the diary also tells the dramatic human story of a political career cut short—the removal of an unusually sensitive, dedicated, and talented public servant. My Struggle for Peace is, above all, an intimate record of the decline of Sharett&’s moderate approach and the rise of more &“activist-militant&” trends in Israeli society, culminating in the Suez/Sinai war of 1956. The diary challenges the popular narrative that Israel&’s confrontation with its neighbors was unavoidable by offering daily evidence of Sharett&’s statesmanship, moderation, diplomacy, and concern for Israel&’s place in international affairs. This is the third volume in the 3-volume English abridgement of Sharett&’s Yoman Ishi [Personal diary] (Ma&’ariv, 1978) maintains the integrity, flavor, and impact of the 8-volume Hebrew original and includes additional documentary material that was not accessible at the time. The volumes are also available to purchase as a set or individually.&“The editors . . . vastly improved on the Hebrew version by adding Sharett&’s speeches, reports, cabinet minutes, and other sources to the text. . . . These additions makes this work so important and welcome by all who aspire to understand the foreign and defense policies of Israel in its first decade.&” —Israel Studies Review
